Differential effects of stimulation waveform and intensity on the neural structures activated by lumbar transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSS) can evoke muscle responses by activation of sensory and/or motor axons. The relative contribution of these varies across the muscles tested. We found evidence for activation of sensory axons with TSS for tibialis anterior and medial gastrocnemius but not for vastus medialis. In cases where sensory axons were activated, conventional TSS activated relatively more sensory axons than high-frequency burst TSS.
